  • Keep lawn mowed and hedges trimmed
  • Plant seasonal flowers
  • Keep front door area clean and welcoming
  • Make arrangements for animals (if any) during showings

15 SHOWINGS OR 21 DAYS

  • In this market, and using our knowledge of real estate, we like to implement a policy that will help sell your home faster.
  • If after 15 showings or 21 days we don’t have an offer, our experience shows it usually indicates the price is too high.
  • If that occurs, we like to do an analysis of the price of your home, and it is probable that we will recommend your home be reduced in price.
